Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 34
न करोति च शृंगारं न स्पर्धां च कदाचन । न व्याकुलत्वमापेदे सुखं स्वपिति पिंगला
na karoti ca śṛṃgāraṃ na spardhāṃ ca kadācana | na vyākulatvamāpede sukhaṃ svapiti piṃgalā
وہ نہ سنگھار کرتی ہے اور نہ کبھی رقابت؛ وہ اضطراب میں نہیں پڑتی—پِنگلا خوشی سے سو جاتی ہے۔
Unspecified narrator (contextual narration within Nāgarakhaṇḍa Tīrthamāhātmya)
